Published: May 2026
A bright, white smile is one of the most attractive features you can possess, but everyday habits like drinking coffee, tea, or red wine can leave your teeth looking dull and stained. If you are searching for “teeth whitening Clapham Junction” or “teeth whitening near me London,” SW11 Medical Clinic offers safe, highly effective professional whitening treatments. Located on Lavender Hill, our expert dental team, including Dr Fontez, provides professional teeth whitening starting from just £299, helping you achieve a radiant smile without the Central London price tag.
What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to safely remove stains and lighten the natural color of your teeth. Unlike over-the-counter whitening strips or toothpastes, which often contain abrasive ingredients or low concentrations of bleaching agents, professional whitening uses high-quality, prescription-strength whitening gels.
At SW11 Medical Clinic, we offer custom take-home whitening kits. These kits include bespoke whitening trays that are molded specifically to the shape of your teeth, ensuring the whitening gel is applied evenly and safely, protecting your gums from irritation while delivering superior, long-lasting results.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Teeth whitening is an excellent option for most adults who have healthy teeth and gums but wish to improve the brightness of their smile. It is particularly effective for removing extrinsic stains caused by food, drink, and smoking.
However, whitening treatments do not work on dental restorations such as crowns, veneers, or fillings. During your initial consultation, Dr Fontez will assess your oral health to ensure you are a suitable candidate and discuss the best approach to achieve your desired results. We welcome patients from Clapham, Battersea, Wandsworth, and those who previously visited our Tooting Medical Centre branch.
The Procedure at SW11 Medical Clinic
Achieving a brighter smile with our professional take-home kits is a simple and convenient process:
1. Initial Consultation and Impressions
Your journey begins with a thorough dental examination by Dr Fontez to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy enough for whitening. Once cleared, we will take precise impressions of your teeth. These impressions are used to create your custom-fit whitening trays.
2. Fitting and Instructions
A few days later, you will return to the clinic to collect your bespoke trays and prescription-strength whitening gel. Dr Fontez will show you exactly how to apply the gel to the trays and provide clear instructions on how long to wear them each day (usually a few hours during the day or overnight).
3. Whitening at Home
You will complete the whitening process in the comfort of your own home. Most patients begin to see noticeable results within a few days, with the full effect typically achieved after 10 to 14 days of consistent use.

To maintain your new smile, we recommend avoiding heavily staining foods and drinks, practicing good oral hygiene, and occasionally using top-up whitening gel with your custom trays.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does teeth whitening cost at SW11 Medical Clinic?
Our professional custom take-home whitening kits start from £299.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes, when supervised by a qualified dentist like Dr Fontez, professional teeth whitening is completely safe. The custom trays ensure the gel stays on your teeth and away from your gums, minimizing the risk of irritation.
Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity during the whitening process. This is normal and usually subsides shortly after the treatment is completed. We can provide desensitizing toothpaste or adjust your whitening schedule if needed.
Can I get teeth whitening on the NHS?
No, teeth whitening is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not available on the NHS. It is only available privately.
How long do the results last?
The longevity of your results depends on your lifestyle. If you consume a lot of coffee, tea, or red wine, or if you smoke, your teeth may stain more quickly. However, because you keep your custom trays, you can easily purchase top-up gel from our clinic to refresh your smile whenever needed.
